I think the "I'll give back your money if I don't run." was a good move.

Win win situation.

 

[Stary Hickory]

We got any kind of goal for tomorrow?

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Nearly $500,000?!

Wow. I haven't been really following Schiff, but that is impressive. The other republican establishment candidates have about that according to their last FEC filing.

I think by midnight, August 8th, Schiff will easily be the GOP fundraising frontrunner.

I am skeptical that that number is real and not just a mistake.

I am with you. I am a bit cautious.

 

[Ron_Paul_For_Connecticut]

Someone should call the office and ask. I would but I can't... (202) 470-6300!

 

[Hamer]

There is no mistake. that is actual fundraising totals for schiff. They do however need to deduct about 38k from that total and that should happen shortly.

I am with you. I am a bit cautious.

well he's got rich friends, clients, and himself. You want to start with a nice push; gives you more credibility

Ya he was trying to get all his video blog subscribers and viewers to donate a few weeks ago.. we had some Schiff money bombs so I'm not completely surprised, but thought the total was a bit lower.

 

[tajitj]

WOW.

I think we under estimate Peter fame on youtube and other social sites.

He gets in front of a webcam and 15,000 people will watch.

This is very encouraging and should be a big boost to tomorrows effort.

LOL Schiff is blowing by Rand.

Hopefully Schiff gets over a million tomorrow, I guess he only has a half-million to go.

And then Rand needs to pull in a million in two weeks.

One thing going in Schiff's favor is that he is facing 3 RINO's so the rino's might split the neocon vote.

The ticker just changed to $465,015.

This is funny:

The race to face Senator Dodd, among Republican challengers, has an early champ in fundraising. He may be unknown to the general public but Greenwich businessman Tom Foley may have set a record for raising the most money in the shortest period of time.

He was the last Republican to get in the race barely a month ago. But, he has raised over $500,000 in just 26 days.

I'm betting Schiff just annihilated him

Yeah i just saw that. I am glad Peter raised so much.

 

[Epic]

Simmons: 750k (558k cash on hand)

LOL. $500k in 26 days is a record for Senate candidates? Wait till they see $1 million in 1 day.

Why am I not seeing the ticker? Which site is it on?

Oh god ::shiver::

Why does Steve Parent know the insider details of Schiff's fundraising? Is the 38k your personal take?

 

[itshappening]

oh my god I can't believe Foley and Simmons have raised so much

this is going to be really competitive

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE SCHIFF CAN COMPETE WITH THESE CLOWNS
